<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

ACTION: USS Claymore has been at warp for nine hours and is now one hour out from Tucker's Planet.

OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: at station listening to comm traffic ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::In the weapons lab on deck six cataloging and putting parts away in the lockers::
SO_Love says:
:: Arriving on the bridge to take over sensors.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::On the bridge...seated in his chair starring intently into his PADD::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::walking through engineering on her rounds::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Sitting in his ready room::  *XO*  Randolph to bridge.  Status Mr. Taylor
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CO*: Sir we are steady on course and an hour away from Tucker's Planet.
SO_Love says:
:: Pauses near Alex and leans down, whispering::  XO:  The warbler is hidden on your PADD.  Can you find it?  ::With a smile quickly slips over to her station.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::turns the PADD...trying to find the warbler...doing so to amuse Chey...and grins::
SO_Love says:
:: Chuckles as she logs onto her station.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CO*: All systems are in check...and all is quite...nothing else to report.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*:  Understood Commander.  Keep me apprised of any new situations.  Randolph, out.
SO_Love says:
:: Glances through the sensor logs, bringing herself up to date.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.  Taylor, out.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*XO*: Sir engineering is go and in the green.
SO_Love says:
<Sensor>
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Catalogs the last of the parts she brought aboard, places the last part on the shelf and slams the locker door shut, locking it with a security code::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CEO*: Good to hear Lt.

ACTION: The Renlaz System begins to show up on long range sensors.

SO_Love says:
XO:  Renlaz system showing up on long range sensors.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*OPS*: You need more power just holler.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: filters out meaningless static focusing on the outgoing comm's from the Renlaz system ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Good...anything else on sensors?
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Tosses the PADD onto a pile of stuff on her small desk then walks to the replicator and orders something cold to drink::
SO_Love says:
XO:  Checking
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
*CEO*: Aye, thank you.
SO_Love says:
XO:  The seven planets and lots of minor activity... probably shipping.  Too far out for more details just yet.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO:  Hey anything is a start.  Keep me posted on the area scans. 
SO_Love says:
XO:  You realize, with all their shipping activity, finding anything out of the ordinary is going to be a bit challenging.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Grabs the glass off of the receiver tray and walks back to her desk and sits down::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO:  That’s why I give you the tough assignments.  ::grins::  How about you just keep an eye peeled.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
XO:  Comm tr-raffic is constant on civilian channels and coor-rdinated from Tucker-r's planet, sir-r.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps the desktop terminal, brings up the information on Tucker's planet and begins reading while sipping her cool drink::
SO_Love says:
:: under her breath::  Humph...
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Mumbles:: Self: Military...hmm...mil...li...tary...::Scans the data on the screen::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
OPS:  Reading anything that might be useful.  Might help us?  Or just chatter?
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::stops to check the main board and corrects a small imbalance and continues with her rounds::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
Self: Ahh...military!  ::Begins reading the information and frowns:: They don't have a military???  ::Is surprised::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: receives a standard message package from Starfleet Headquarters and routes it to the XO, transfer of personnel and such :: XO: Incoming message r-routed to you, sir-r.
SO_Love says:
:: Gathering telemetry from the system and comparing it to current information.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
Self: No military, eh?  Well, no wonder they want to join the Federation.  Free loaders!
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
XO: A smatter-ring of chatter-r, enter-tainment channels, and umm official communications all ar-re coming through.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Understood...  ::looks down to the screen on his chair::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Turns off the terminal and sits back to finish her drink::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
Self: I could never understand why humans enjoy archaic music like that.

ACTION: Sensors are able to determine more detail as Claymore closes in on the Renlaz System.

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps her COM badge:: *CO*: LtCmdr. Ryan to Captain Randolph.
SO_Love says:
:: Nods as sensor resolution of the system increases with proximity.  Pulls up more details.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Thinks: Might as well give him the news...no military! Humph::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
:: Reads the incoming transmission...it is for routine lower crew transfers and orders for the CEO to depart the Claymore on Tucker's Planet and a replacement CEO to be picked up there too:: 
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::forwards the message to both the CEO and the CO::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Sir, there are about 20 ships roaming the system.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CTO*: You need anymore tweeking on your tactical sensors???
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: opens a file for Tucker's planets and begins to compile data.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Most of them freighters but there are some pleasure craft.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
*CEO*: No Lieutenant this will be adequate.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::hears her PADD beep and she opens it up to reveal a message::  Self: Not again.  I get moved so much it is getting hard to call one ship my home.  Sheesh.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CTO*: Understood sir.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Puts the PADD down::  *CIV*  Go ahead Commander Ryan.
SO_Love says:
XO:  Besides the vessels, we have standard space garbage of artificial satellites.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CO*: Sir, Sorry to interrupt, but I have a message that I am to report back to SB55.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
*CO*: Sorry to bother you, Sir but you wanted me to check on the status of the military on Tucker's planet?  Well, Sir, according to the records, they have no military.  Only a small fleet of ships that serve more as a policing type agency.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Understood...keep those eyes peeled...never know what can be in the garbage...or not.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*: Stand by Lt.  
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CO*: Understood sir standing by.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CIV*  Yes Commander.  Once we arrive, I want you to actually see them in action.  I want a report from you on your findings.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
*CO*: Acknowledged.  Ryan, out.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Leans back in her chair:: Self: Check out their police force?  ::Pauses a moment and smiles:: I'll probably get arrested for something!  ::Laughs::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*: Lt...please repeat your last message to me.
SO_Love says:
Hmmm...  XO:  They were not kidding when they said this was a resource rich system.  It almost radiates it.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CO*: Sir I have a message ordering me back to SB55.  You will receive a replacement when you arrive on Tuckers Planet.  She is there waiting for you now.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*  Understood.  Make preparations to return.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CO*: Understood sir.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps her COM badge:: *XO*: LtCmdr. Ryan to Commander Taylor.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*  Do you know who our replacement will be?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Yeah...lots of ships going in and out...and lots of things about.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CIV*: This is Cmdr. Taylor...What can I do you for?
SO_Love says:
XO:  I am finding it a wee bit surprising they have so little trouble.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
*XO*: Sir, the Captain wanted me to inform you when my lab was ready for inspection and at your convenience, I would like you, along with LtCmdr. Chaser and Lt. Blade to come down, Sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: blinks and thinks me?::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CIV*: I would love to.  
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CO*: Yes I do sir.  She is the best in the business besides me and your ex-wife and her sister.  She is an American Indian, or if you prefer Native American, full Cheyenne and top of the class in engineering, astrophysics, warp and impulse technology, and cloaking expertise, computer mechanics and the list goes on sir.
SO_Love says:
XO:  Now this is interesting...  very interesting...  :: Narrows in to the fifth planets moon.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CIV*: Correction...we would love to.  
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
*XO*: Very well, Sir.  I recommend a time after we have left this sector, considering the Ferengi frequent this area of space, Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: What is it?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CIV*: I agree...that will give us plenty of time for inspection.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: turns and looks at the XO, not quite sure about going down there ::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CO*: She comes highly recommended from Starfleet Engineering.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
*XO*: Very well, Sir.  Ryan, out.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*: Understood.  Thank you for serving on the Claymore.  God speed on your life journey.  
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::looks to the OPS in a cheerful grin::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CO*: It has been an honor to serve on the Claymore.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*: Thank you Lt. Have a safe trip.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*: Randolph out.
SO_Love says:
XO: I am reading... some kind of alien technology on the fifth planet’s moon.  It appears to be under the surface, I doubt very much it is detectable from Tucker's planet.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: grins back, and waits for the XO to take the lead ::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::with lowered eyes she hands control over to the current EO senior and walks out of engineering to her quarters to pack and leave::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::picks up her things and her pet and heads for the shuttle bay one last time and back to SB55::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::thinks to himself...its never as easy as it seems to be::  SO: Can you get any locks on it...signal wise...to get good scans...maybe find out who's technology it is?
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Stands and places her glass into the recycling system then moves to the main counter and sits on a stool.  Peers into a magnification viewer and begins working on one of the detonators she picked up at SB55::
Shuttle Batani says:
 *OPS* : Permission to depart for SB55 sir.
SO_Love says:
XO:  Working on it.  Running it through the computer now.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Keep me posted.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: opens bay doors , checks surrounding space for ships traffic :: Batani: You are clear-red to depar-rt, fair-r winds CEO.
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
@::sitting on a ledge with Shoshoni curled up in her lap watching the beautiful land scape around her and listening to the winds::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.  ::pilots the shuttle out carefully and heads back to SB55::
SO_Love says:
:: Shakes her head::  XO:  Sorry... I can't quite get a solid lock on it just yet.  ::Turns around with a smile::  You know... the standard, 'we need to get closer' routine.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Understood...keep scanning...as well get closer.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: boosts power to sensors and nods to the SO ::

ACTION: Claymore is now at the edge of the Renlaz System.

SO_Love says:
XO:  We are at the edge of the Renlaz system, preparing to enter.
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
@::closes her eyes to hear the sounds of the land as well and smiles::
SO_Love says:
:: Nods a thanks over to ops::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: narrows the gain and boosts the output to the main sensor array ::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: drops the Claymore out of warp ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Sir the SO has found some kind of alien technology on the fifth planets moon...in the system....but no luck in scanning at the moment.  As well I was just about to head down and inspect the CIV's lab.
EO Janson says:
*OPS*: You are ok as far as power is ma'am?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::running sensor sweeps::
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
@Shoshoni:  Listen my guardian to the sounds of Mother Nature as she speaks.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*: No Commander Taylor, I will inspect the CIV's lab with the CTO and OPS.  Be there in a moment.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
XO: We have enter-red the R-renlaz system, sir-r
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
@::Shoshoni stirs and his ears prick up as he hears the wind::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Understood.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
XO: Or-rder-rs, sir-r?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Gets up and puts his jacket on.  He zips it up as he exits the TL::  OPS/CTO:  Are you ready?
CEO_lt_B`Renak says:
#Self:  It seems that I can't ever get set on any ship and it is frustrating.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: gulps at the CO's voice :: CO: Aye, sir-r!
SO_Love says:
XO:  Commander... come take a look at the incoming telemetry.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Slow to impulse as we enter...and keep on course to Tucker's Planet.
FCO_Crashalot says:
::arrives at the conn to relieve OPS::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: keeps the ship at full impulse and lays in a course for Tucker's planet ::
SO_Love says:
:: Puts the info up on her screen::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: nods to the FCO and releases controls to him. ;:
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::walks over to the TL and waits for the OPS and CTO to join him.::
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
@::remembers her great grandfather’s stories of ancient times and reflects on them::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: bounds to her feet and scurries to the TL joining the CO ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::goes into the TL::
FCO_Crashalot says:
::tries to remember how to keep the ship upright::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: What is it?   ::stands and heads over to Chey::
OPS Tech says:
:: Takes over at OPS ::
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
@::Shoshoni rubs his head on her arm looking for attention and she does begin to pet his small head and rub his neck the way he likes it::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Enters and as the OPS and CTO enter and he orders the destination::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks away from the viewer while pulling the detonator from the tray.  Inspects the modifications she just made to it::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: keeps her eyes down her hands folded tightly behind her back ::
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
@Self: I wonder what kind of captain this CO Randolph is and wonders how the crew will react to her and her companion::
SO_Love says:
:: Points to the outline on her screen::  XO:  I am reading an extensive underground base.  The composition is familiar.  I am not sure, but it might be old.  No power signature seems to be emanating from it.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Holding his PADD behind his back he leans over and looks at the screen::
FCO_Crashalot says:
::then remembers that "upright" is a relative term while in space and decides that it really doesn't matter::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS/CTO: I want to make sure this lab is completely safe and within the limits specified.
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
@::smiles and gets up with Shoshoni at her heels and begins to walk to where the appointed place is she is to transfer to the Claymore::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: nods vigorously :: CO: Aye, Captain.
SO_Love says:
XO:  I am waiting to see what the computer coughs up for us.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Puts the detonator back onto the tray then stares at it, drumming her fingers on the counter top as she thinks::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::exits the TL when it stops and walks down the way to the lab.  Once they arrive e buzzes the chime to let the CIV know they are there::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Hmmm...Is there anything else we can get from scans...maybe what it was used for or any element traces?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: follows along behind the CO quietly ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Hears the door chime:: CO: Enter!
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::following behind OPS::
SO_Love says:
XO:  Actually, looks like we can.  And considering our proximity to Breen space makes sense.  Well kind of,  statistics give it an 8% chance it is Breen.  I can't give one hundred percent due to the age.  Again, proximity would help.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::enters the lab::  CIV:  Commander.  I don't know if you have met my Operations officer and my Chief Tactical Officer or not, Lt. Cmdr. Chaser and Lt. Blade.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Sees the Captain and jumps up from her stool, tipping it over and knocking the detonator from the tray onto the floor:: CO: Sir!  What a surprise!  ::Looks over at the CTO and OPS::
FCO_Crashalot says:
::wonders what that flashing amber light means::
SO_Love says:
XO:  Curious it is underground and not on Tucker itself.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::raises his eyebrow::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: cringes ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CTO/OPS: Pleasure to meet you.  ::Offers her hand to the CTO::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CIV: Likewise. ::shakes her hand::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::closes his eyes..expects something to blow up::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Offers her hand to OPS and smiles::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: stands up as tall as she can putting on a rather stoic face, her tail lashing behind her and shakes the CIV's hand firmly ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Maybe its some military base...or something top secret....keep scanning though.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::walks over to the table::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Self: Hmm...
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Bends over and picks up the stool then picks up the detonator:: CO: Not to worry, Sir.  It's just a detonator...not connected to anything....explosive.  ::Smiles and places the detonator back onto the tray::
SO_Love says:
XO:  Think I can talk you into letting me go visit?

ACTION: A comm comes through for Claymore.  It is the new CEO ready to beam onboard.

CEO_Lt_Deer says:
@::makes sure that her ceremonial robes and clothes are packed correctly, and that her dream catchers are with the spears and other ceremonial items are and then makes sure she has her SF uniforms and SF Engineering materials are as well::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CIV: Interesting.
OPS Tech says:
XO: Incoming comm.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  This is your inspection...so why don't you begin by tell us about what you are doing here...
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
@::picks up Shoshoni and hangs on to him and waits::
OPS Tech says:
 XO: Our new CEO is ready to beam aboard,  sir.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: I wouldn't mind...however I would like to see whats there myself...  OPS Tech: I'll take it on my screen...  ::moves over to his chair::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Inspection, Sir?  I was under the impression from my earlier conversation with Commander Taylor that we were going to wait until after we left Tucker's planet...considering the Ferengi and all.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: pulls out her PADD and begins to take notes ::
SO_Love says:
XO:  Price of becoming first officer.
OPS Tech says:
:: routes the comm to the XO::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
OPS Tech: Open the channel.
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
@Shoshoni:  Shhhhh, my companion we will be going soon.  ::Shoshoni whimpers some::
OPS Tech says:
XO: Aye.  :: opens a channel ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  No...I decided now is best.  With the Ferengi around, I want every piece of equipment in here logged.  I fear that if the Ferengi know what is here, they may try to take something.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Notices the CTO looking around:: CTO/OPS: Feel free to look around...just be careful what you....well...handle.  ::Smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
COMM: This is Commander Taylor of  the USS Claymore...How may I help you?
SO_Love says:
:: Prepares a general report and adds that there are no lifesigns to the lack of power readings.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: looks around and begins to catalogue for full manifest as ordered ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Fine, Sir.  ::Walks to her desk and picks up her PADD::  Here is a manifest of every piece of equipment and parts I brought onboard, Sir.  ::Hands the PADD to the CO::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: As you can see...::Motions her arm around the room:: everything sensitive has been locked away.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::takes the PADD and looks at it.  Then offers it to OPS::  OPS:  Double check this and enter into the ship's manifest.  CIV:  Continue with telling us about this lab.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  :: takes the PADD and begins to analyze its contents ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::picks up a strange looking emitter of some sort:: CIV: What exactly is this?
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: My lab....yes...well, Sir...::Moves over to the small testing range:: Here is where I will test fire my weapons, Sir.  I know it's small but considering the size of this lab...well, it's the best I can do.
Renlaz Central says:
COM: Claymore: This is Renlaz Space Central Command.  We have a passenger to beam over to you.
SO_Love says:
:: Listens in on the conversation.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: thinks test fire weapons in a lab?::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
COMM: Renlaz Central: Understood Central Command...::comms the transporter room to ready the transporter:: ...we are ready to receive the passenger.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Moves over to a wall locker and taps in her security code.  Opens the locker door and pulls out a couple of prototypes then walks back to the main counter:: CO: Here are two prototypes I brought with me.  ::Shows them to the group::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: gulps and stands back ::

ACTION: Renlaz Central acknowledges and beams Claymore's new CEO onboard.

OPS Tech says:
 XO: The new CEO is aboard, sir.
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
::Shoshoni is whimpering as she is materializing::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  What is the purpose of these pieces of equipment?

ACTION: The CIV's prototypes look deceptively simple and harmless.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
OPS Tech: Understood...have the new CEO report to the bridge.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::looks at them inquisitively::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Picks up the round sphere:: CO: This is a grenade, Sir.  But it doesn't explode...it's a sonic shock grenade.  Small, compact and easy to use.  ::Smiles::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: The equipment is for making my modifications, Sir.  Every piece of equipment is Starfleet issue, Sir.
OPS Techr says:
*CEO*: Please report to the bridge.
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
OPS Tech: So this is the mighty Claymore.  *OPS*: Understood.  I am on my way.
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
::enters the TL with Shoshoni still in her arms and heads to the bridge::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Would you care for a demonstration, Sir?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looks at the CTO and OPS:: CIV:  Yes please.
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
::arrives on the bridge and steps out of the TL onto the bridge and sees the XO and walks up to him::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: thinks no way and steps behind the CO peeking over his shoulder ::
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
XO: Lieutenant Fleet Footed Deer reporting as ordered sir.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Don't worry, it's not set to full power.  It won't hurt anyone.  You'll just hear a slight hum.  ::Smiles::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Understood.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CEO: Welcome aboard Lt., I'm Commander Alexander Taylor III...and it is a pleasure to have you aboard.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO/CTO/OPS: Okay, here goes!  ::Sets the switch on the sphere then tosses it in to the test range::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: cringes and has the urge to hit the deck ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::backs up::
SO_Love says:
:: Nods to the new CEO::

ACTION: The grenade bounces a few times onto the test range and then just sits there.  No sounds come from it.

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Smiles as the sphere rolls into the test range::
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
XO: Thank you sir, and It is a pleasure to be here on this majestic ship.  This is my strength and companion Shoshoni.  He is only a cub but he will prove his worth as he grows.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::waits for this hum::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks curiously at the sphere just sitting there on the floor and wonders why it isn't "humming"::
SO_Love says:
:: Looks curiously at the canine::
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks back at the CO, OPS and CTO then moves into the test range to pick up the sphere::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: gulps ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::looks at the young cub...and rubs it softly on the head::  CEO: Well he seems to be an asset....can't wait to see him grown.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looks at all his officers again and back to the CIV::

ACTION: As the CIV picks up the grenade, it emits an extremely high-pitched hum.

CEO_Lt_Deer says:
XO: He is still a baby but he is quite friendly and actually quiet.  Yet when he is grown he will prove himself under fire as well.
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Picks up the grenade then drops it covering her ears::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: covers her ears with her hands ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CEO: I can only imagine.

ACTION: As the grenade hits the deck,  the noise stops.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
ALL:  Not good
CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Shouts:: CO/OPS/CTO: Sorry about that!  I don't know what happened!
CEO_Lt_Deer says:
::Shoshoni whines
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
